Hi! Welcome to my page, I'm so happy to have you here I am a well-seasoned traveler, thanks to my parents who took my and my sisters all over the world as kids✈️ Now that I'm married, I have passed on the travel itch to my husband, which leaves me constantly listening to his newest exotic travel plans🌏 I love to travel with a mix of planned activities so that I can make sure to visit all of my "must-sees", but also spontaneity so that I can truly enjoy the culture and lifestyle of the local land and people. I saw a great need in the travel industry for travel planners who were not affiliated with certain brands or were paid via commissions, which I think severely limits the possibilities for travelers. Because of my passion for travel, I decided to fill that need and am not here to serve all of your travel needs✨

If you like unique experiences that really make you connect with a local culture... all on a budget you can afford - I'm your girl. I consider myself a budget travel hacker, using a combination of points and miles and other ways to save to bring down my overall travel costs for each trip I take. I love to create itineraries that help you get insider tips to save money, choose the "must-do" for you (and what to skip), and how to better connect to authentic travel experiences in the process. Use my guides if you... 💰 Desire to save hundreds (or even thousands) on every trip you take without changing your experience 📍 Want to better connect with locals through authentic experiences. you won't find on Google 🍽️ Crave foodie experiences and don't mind a street food adventure (or two, or three) 🤸‍♀️ Are willing to have a sense of adventure and get out of your comfort zone

Hi! We're Gabe and Manu. Do you find yourself idly searching Google flights with destination “Anywhere”? Do you spend your workdays daydreaming of random itineraries and mapping out the best way from Sofia, Bulgaria to Prístina, Kosovo? Yes? Then you’re just like us and would probably love some of the trips we’ve planned. No? Then maybe you hate travel planning and have come to just the right place. We are seasoned travelers who have been to over 50 countries. But we hate checking boxes and we are not trying to hit all the major attractions. If you want to run from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame, we may not be the right guide for you. If you want to hit up the Hard Rock Cafe in Yerevan on a Thursday to watch a Filipino cover band play Nirvana, then I think you’ll like our style. We know we’re all strapped for time and it’s hard to really get to know a place in 7-10 days, but we are firm believers that it is possible. In our travels we try to seek out those places where you will catch a slice of local life. Where you will look around you and think to yourself, “I am a long way from home.” We love that feeling and even if you’ve never had that opportunity, we think when you feel it you will fall in love with travel too. So, please take a look at some of the itineraries we have to offer or let us know if you’d like something custom. We love building itineraries (almost) as much as we like traveling. Wheels up!

Hi, I'm Chelsea, a travel-loving adventurer and Disney enthusiast. With over 40 countries and every Disneyland Park in the world under my belt, I'm always looking for my next big adventure! My love for Disney started at a young age and has only grown stronger over the years. I've made it my mission to experience the magic of every Disneyland Park, from Anaheim to Tokyo to Paris, and beyond. But my passion for travel extends far beyond theme parks. I'm also a dedicated travel hacker, always on the lookout for ways to save money and maximize my travel experiences. Whether it's using credit card rewards to book flights or finding the best hotel deals, I love the thrill of the hunt when it comes to travel hacking. Currently, I'm on a mission to cross off the Seven Wonders of the World from my bucket list. From marveling at the ancient ruins of Petra to standing in awe of the Taj Mahal, I'm always seeking out my next awe-inspiring adventure! Through my travels, I've gained a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our world. I believe that travel has the power to change us and inspire us, and I'm passionate about sharing my experiences with others. When I'm not jetting off to my next destination, you can find me blogging about my travel tips and stories or planning my next epic trip.

Female Solo Traveler | Traveling on a Budget Scuba Diving | Outdoors Adventures Hello!! I’m Luna 🌙 and I'm a little addicted to discovering the world, both above and below the water! I mostly travel solo and I'm usually on a budget (the cheaper I can travel, the more I travel!), but I'll invest more money for the right experience (Hot Air Baloon in Cappadocia, I'm looking at you!). In every job I've been at, I was known as the "crazy traveler" - you know that person that lands at 5am on a Monday and is in the office at 9am? or the one jetting off for the 2 days weekend every other week? Or the one that always comes back with some crazy stories? all of the above... it's me! I would like to think I’m quite a curious and adventurous person and I’m always up for trying new things, discover new foods and meet new people. There are not many things I wouldn’t be willing to try and I can’t think of any while writing this. I enjoy exploring new places, discovering new cultures and trying the local foods, but I also enjoy a good hike, a day by the beach and a crazy adventure! I strongly believe I should have been born a mermaid as I absolutely love the water, I’m a scuba diver 🤿 and I’m currently certifying as a free diver 🧜🏻‍♀️ . While I wait for my mermaid tail to grow, I want to see as much as possible of the land-based world. I’m originally from Italy 🇮🇹 but I’ve lived a little bit around California, the East Coast of the US, Barcelona and Scotland before settling in London where I worked in Marketing for 5 years. As of August 2023, I quit London and my corporate life to take a break and travel more, so stay tuned as more and more content will appear here and on my Insta!

I love traveling and it's become a big part of my life. By day, I work in higher education, where I get to organize educational trips and create exciting itineraries all around the world.

I take great pleasure in curating bespoke journeys tailored to individual preferences and interests and I can't wait to keep discovering and embracing all the wonders this world has in store! 🌍✈️
